The DMC-FZ45 is an evolution of the older FZ38, with an improved zoom range of 24x. That might sound impressive in isolation, but it's eclipsed by models offering 30x and more. The 3in screen is large, but has a relatively low resolution of 230kpixels. T...
Decent photos and videos, especially at this price, but performance and features are lacking...

If you’ve grown up with SLR cameras, the 24x optical zoom range of this Panasonic Lumix FZ45 bridge camera will seem astonishing. It’s the equivalent of 25-600mm in the old 35mm format, which remains the standard language of focal lengths. Take a look...
A well-performing bridge that offers a compelling alternative to a full-blown DSLR. Image quality is good and all that lets it down for us is the feel of itOverall Our provides the latest photography news, reviews, previews, features and tecniques. A...

Limited sensitivity (avoid 800 ISO and especially 1600 ISO), Mediocre electronic viewfinder, No rotating screen, Live view jerky in low light...
The FZ45 is the latest in a long line of bridge cameras. Unsurprisingly, it's a very good camera that's a treat to use, but it really doesn't need 14 Megapixels and we would have preferred a BSI CMOS sensor to this old CCD...

Just a hair’s breadth away from a full-on DSLR? We classify cameras like Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FZ40 as mega-compacts. They resemble the big and powerful digital SLRs the pros use, and have some of the same features, but they use fixed zoom lenses and t...
Great lens. Shooting modes galore. RAW support. Strong antishake function. Capable video camera.
Noisy photos at maximum focal length. No hot shoe. Fixedposition LCD. Touchy jog dial.
